Chapter 1 How it all started.

Today is the day when something or actually everything changed for me.

Today I was walking on the road walking toward my normal bust stop like did each day, to

catch my bus to college when suddenly I heard a screech, a scream and then.

*BOOM*

All I saw before the Strike was a truck suddenly appearing and hitting me.

"Wait, is that a tru-"

Was all I could say before it hit me

For whatever god damned reason my conscience did not disappear, I could still think in the darkness that surrounded my… eyes? If had them.

"Huh.... Where am I? Everything is pitch black and-"

Suddenly as I was muttering(can soul mutter I don't know) when I spotted a different color and suddenly a familiar voice spoke to me.

"???! It's me, Eric!"

The person said, wait what, you are Eric!!

"What? Eric? Where are you bud! You've been dead for a month and you made your best bud have to play some video games by himself! Reveal yourself, you scoundrel!"

I said, surprised, and suddenly I was able to see him.

"Ok ???, so you've died and-"

It just hit me yes I was dead, oh god oh!!

"I DIED? HOLY SHIT. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO MY FAMILY AND MY-"

I said panicking when Eric placed a finger over his mouth and said

"Shush"

And I couldn't speak anymore, a sudden calm feeling appeared inside of me.

"Anyways, back to what I was saying. We're both dead now and compared to what people usually think happens when they died, actually was very wrong. I became a god and made my own world. Then I made a copy of earth so that I could look at memes and with it, made a copy of your bud. Now, I'm in a sort of dilemma where this guy's soul doesn't want to come back to his body and I decided to Isekai you replace him.

Don't worry, you're other friends and family will be fine. I used my power as a god to ensure that. To ensure that life here is easy for you bud, I will be giving a good system, and tons of cheats and abilities to optimize yourself however you want. Though to make it fair, you'll have to learn about those cheats yourself and won't be able to instantly use all of their powers... Now I'm putting you in the body! Hold on for a second."

I went through various emotions listening to him, anger, sadness, confusion, relief and finally nothing, just a cool feeling. This cool feeling didn't leave it in the end.

Now with a cool 'head', soul whatever, I started to imagine what al I could do now.

He then snapped his finger and now i was in another body, I could feel some presence all around me, and some memories appeared in my mind, looking through them I understood the basics of where I am and what I should do.

"Now Shiva, act like Yori for a bit and help me out of this," A voice said in my mind and I opened my eyes.

~~~~On Verathal~~~~

And I opened my eyes, and suddenly sat up, small amounts of pain were assaulting me from all directions.

I looked around the room and his eyes settled on me. My brain was contemplating everything and eventually came to an answer about one thing.

"Eric?"

He smiled and rested his hand on my shoulder. "Welcome back Yori..." and winked.

"Yeah, good to be back"

I said to him nodding.

"You are ok!"

A girl suddenly jumped into my arms and buried her face in my shoulder.

"Umm"

Before I could say anything 2 other girls too jumped and embraced me.

"Congratulations Eric sir, you were able to save him, your healing and powers are immeasurable."

A fat man in Nobel like clothing was talking to Eric while praising him.

"It's nothing"

He said, damn he is acting cool.

"Hey! Eric bu- Sir can you please help me sit up." Almost called hm buddy.

"Sure," he said and waved his hands and all the girls were pushed away from me, back to their original positions, leaving me free from the burdens.

Get me out of here!! I said in my mind staring at him.

"Wait! A few minutes, then I will take you out of here saying that I need to take you with me for a few days to keep a constant check on you, you can just escape then during this time."

Sure I though again.

Erick then talked a bit to me normally like a normal person would to someone who saved them, and I acted in kind too for the people around me.

The three girls were constantly trying to talk to me, I kept most of my answers and talk with them casually.

They were not surprised by my sudden change of speech because of what Erick had said to them before, but they sure were not happy with it. They constantly looked like they wanted to talk about something, but were not able to.

Finally, after some more minutes had passed Eric said to me,

"Yori you are fine for now, but I am not sure if there are any after-effects, so I would like you to come with me for a few days, I will need to keep a constant uninterrupted check on you."

As he said this I could see uncomfortable faces appear all around me.

The girls had anxiety over the fact that i might have some after effects, while the Nobel felt uncomfortable letting me go with Eric.

"I'll go," I said to Eric.

"But-" The Nobel man started to say

"I said I will go, so I will, no need to say anything. This man is my savior and he wants to help me, I would be a fool not to accept his hospitality"

I said to the man and also the girls who were about to do outbursts too. Silencing both.

"Sure then," he said finally, "Sir Eric when would you like to leave, should we prepare a carriage"

"Sure, but get it fast"

Nodding he went out to make a few arrangements.

"Yori, please come back soon"

"Of course I will" Smiling gently, while inside I was thinking, I am not an idiot with my head in my crotch, of course, I will not come back.

"It's done"

The Nobel entered the room and declared.

Nodding his head Eric came towards me and helped me stand up, supporting me with one of my arms around his shoulders he walked me to the carriage and helped me enter it, closing its door before any of the girls could try and enter.

He sat in front of me and looked at me when we started moving.

Smiling he said,"So, what do you think about it, I mean my world, Yori or should I call you Shiva?"

"Shiva is fine, thank you, and it's not bad, the welcome was not that good but the rest looks fine, quite fun actually"

I said to him while moving my hand just below my shoulders and moving a silver of mana inside of me to my hand.

The mana from me and the mana around my hand changed in shape as my inner mana came out of my hand, turning into a small ball of fire, then concentrating into a floating rock, then into a globe of water, then to a small vortex of air, finally to 4 elements of Fire Earth Water Wind rotating around each other.

I did not stop here, the mana then quickly changed shape again, this time into a ring of Black and white, rotating around each other like fishes chasing each other.

Only now did I put my hand down, dispersing the ring, satisfied for now.

"So, you liking your mastery of all elements"

Eric asked me smiling.

"Yeah I did though I have a question for you"

"Sure speak up"

"They were the only basic elements?" I asked Eric since he was, well, The God

"They are the basic ones most can use," he said nodding.

Nodding that I understood I started talking to him about this world and what all happened to him.

He told me how he died the waking up in death, becoming a god, creation of this world, previous gods, new gods, the rules of heaven and gods.

How he had descended, etc, etc.

By the time we reached the inn, we had already talked about the jade wolf incident.

At the inn he acted carrying me out the same way he helped me in and told the carriage to go back, while he took me to his room.

There he continued to tell me about the one guy he had isakied this world on a whim.

"OH!! really there is someone like that in this world! What's his name?"

"I think it was, Landon Liri," He said to me.

"Landon Liri? Liri?!! Hey, Eric, you remember how that guy looked."

"Yeah sure I do" and he described that guy to me

"Damn to think it was him," I said swearing under my breath, though with a small smile too.

"Oh, you know that guy" Eric was a bit surprised.

"Yeah, he is my…"
